Saves time: A lot of time is wasted looking for things that have been
misplaced somewhere in the home. Cleaning the house often and
creating organization can curb some of that wasted time.
5 Practical Ways to Keep your House Clean:
Focus on one area: We all live busy lives, therefore, it might be more
practical to focus on one area of the home at a time to deep-clean while
keeping the rest of the house casually tidy. For example, you can
designate Mondays as the day to vacuum the bedrooms and dust the
furniture and Wednesdays can be the day to focus on washing the floors
and scrubbing the bathtub.
Get the family involved: Unless you live by yourself, there should be no
reason why the responsibility of keeping the house clean should fall
solely on you. Get your family involved by issuing chore lists and also by
creating cleanliness-routines such as putting the toilet seat down,
cleaning up toys and taking the trash out.
Outsource: Outsourcing some of the housekeeping duties a few times a
month can be a huge time saver. Additionally, hiring professional carpet
cleaners will ensure that your home is getting the quality deep clean
that it needs.
Create functional organization: Organization is an absolute must
when it comes to keeping the home clean. To deter clutter, you should
invest in a variation of stylish storage furniture pieces such as cubbies
with coat hooks for the mud room, book shelves, and storage-ottomans
to hide-a-way the blankets. Additionally, you should sell/donate
everything that you no longer use and purchase storage bins to store
items that you do not immediately use.
Pre-clean: The idea of pre-cleaning refers to the effort of keeping the
home clean by not making a mess. Some examples of pre-cleaning are to
put your keys, phone and mail in a neat, designated area and hanging up
your purse and coat on the coat rack as soon as you get in. Also, you can
pre-clean by tackling your documents before they accumulate into piles
and washing the dishes as soon as you create it.
